what I wore Wednesday....

This week I have been working with my 

Charles Nolan red wool cape

trying out some options for the holidays

It's bold shade is out of my color comfort zone

but I loved the differentness of the piece
and decided to give it a try.

One easy solution

simply adding my Burberry fur collar...

Cozy and distinct for holiday night strolls...

Trying for a more casual and everyday look

I paired it with jeans

and a menswear stripe shirt...

It's still a big piece with a whole lot of color...

not quite my favorite everyday vibe

but 

certainly has some holiday zing!

Still trying to bring down the color intensity

I put a brown knit over the shirt

I like the juxtaposition of the  brown 'glitter' shirt

with the menswear stripe

and jeans.

I layered several of my gold chains

vintage and new

to add a little sparkle 

and

 finish off the outfit

To get the necklaces to lay perfectly staggered

I just extended a couple of them to get the desired lengths

I did a DIY post on extending your necklaces here,

The short hand version

2 plyers +jump rings+ chain= your perfect necklace length!

Wishing you love and joy 

as you style your life
